Learning Markers
A review of the assessment process at Southbridge School has led to the development of learning markers. The learning markers, developed by staff from the national curriculum guidelines, have been used to assess each child’s progress. These outcomes are based on the expected level of achievement by the end of the year.
The students are assessed in each curriculum area according to the learning markers. The teacher determines whether the student is always, usually or sometimes performing at the expectation. This criteria is used to establish whether the student is working above, at or towards the expectation for that year level.
The assessment is recorded on the student management system, Integris. This is merged into a Word document and forms part of the student’s portfolio.
The collective assessment for each class is analysed and the results put into graphs to assist the teachers in planning their future goals and teaching focus.
Statistics on the overall appraisal are used to inform the Board of Trustees as to the achievements of the students.
